Hi all, the pics might not look like much but this Aro is obsessed with this Ray, he swims on her while she’s moving around, sits on her and is sooo strange, video link attached...
He’s been like it for months too. Used to try bite her when she came up the side of tank now she can do what she wants... he’s smitten ??
even if nobody has answers, think is cool to share.

I’m sorry to inform you sir, but your arowana is a simp. But seriously that’s weird I’ve never heard of this usually when an aro is at the bottom of the tank it means it’s stressed but it don’t like that that’s the situation I have no clue what’s going on here also you have a gorgeous rtg aro ( correct me if I’m wrong but it looks like a rtg) I’m sure the arowana x rays will be beautiful?

I think it’s a golden cross back. Didn’t know that the arowana would react like that lmao. Very cute.

Thanks I’m not that good at arowanas I just know the rtg Asian, Australian and South American aro’s and I think you’re right about it being cross back either way I think that DanHOB DanHOB has played Cupid and created a very cute couple.

He’s a gold crossback with very strange colours, goes red to jade green to blue etc very nice fish
She possibly is pregnant, so hoping for pups in next few months, unfortunately he’s not the father ? although he wants to be. (Was behaving like this months before pregnant)
Btw, both eating well, parameters are perfect.
I’ll get some more videos n post here... strange ****ing fish!?

I wonder how long before that Aro ends up with a barbed stinger through its side? The ray doesn't look interested, and No means No...

But hey, maybe you'll get lucky and get a spawn out of these two. Considering the flocks of people who are actually attracted to goofball hybrid creations like Flowerhorns, think of how much interest you could generate in Stingowanas! You'll be rich! :)

That's pretty trippy and she seems to be okay with it or she would have stung him by now I would think
